Description

Japanese input device based on first input character and its control method

The present invention relates to a Japanese input device based on first input characters and a method for controlling the same.

Japanese consists of hiragana, katakana and kanji. Hiragana and Katakana have a limited number. However, Chinese characters are ideograms including hieroglyphs, and consist of tens of thousands of non-standardized characters. Therefore, since electronic devices such as computers and mobile phones have a keyboard with a limited number of buttons as input means, it is possible to directly input hiragana and katakana using electronic devices, but it is impossible to input Chinese characters as they are.

As such a method of inputting Japanese, a Romaji input method, a Kana input method, and a 12 Keys input method are widely used.

The Roman character input method is a method of inputting a Japanese pronunciation using an English alphabet and converting Japanese having the same pronunciation as the input English alphabet through an auto-completion function. In the kana input method and the 12-key input method, Japanese is input using a keyboard in which hiragana is listed, but in the case of Chinese characters, the pronunciation is input in hiragana and converted into Chinese characters through the auto-completion function.

However, this method has a disadvantage in that when inputting Chinese characters included in Japanese, it is difficult to accurately input Chinese characters if the correct pronunciation of the Chinese characters is not known. This is because the Chinese characters included in Japanese are pronounced in different ways because even the same Chinese character has sound and hundok.

In addition, since Chinese characters are entered through the auto-complete function after entering the alphabet or hiragana, the user does not directly input Chinese characters, so even though Chinese characters are an essential component of Japanese, kanji forgetfulness is deepening mainly in the younger generation in Japan. is becoming

Therefore, there is a need for a Japanese input method capable of directly inputting Chinese characters even if the pronunciation is not known.

The present invention provides a Japanese input device based on first input characters that can input Chinese characters included in Japanese even if they do not know the pronunciation of Chinese characters through input of first input characters, short characters, and double characters of Chinese characters other than the English alphabet or hiragana, and An object of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the same.

Here, the single character means a shape made up of one line among the shapes of Chinese characters. In addition, the double character means a shape made up of two or more lines among the shapes of Chinese characters. And the first input character means any one of the uppermost or leftmost single character of a Chinese character, or all the complex characters included in the Chinese character.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a Japanese input device and a control method thereof based on first input characters that can directly input Chinese characters included in Japanese through input of first input characters, short characters, and complex characters.
